Tomori is outstanding

[Triggaaar]

At the time, Tomori hadn't played league football of any kind. At the time, it was a fair complaint that a homegrown player was being moved out to make room for one of the many Chelsea youngsters. It's easy to say now that the move worked out extremely well for us, and the player but to criticise people who voiced their opposition to the signing at the time, with the benefit of hindsight, is childish.

No, I criticised them in the thread at the time, so this isn't with hindsight. I did so because the experts at our club (like Hughton) thought it was the right move, and I trust their judgement, and I criticise those that don't. Feel free to look it up.

Not allowed - ALOUD ffs!

Sew sorry.

Michael Owen? Could he do a job?

Nah, he's already signed a contract with us next year, he was spotted at the Grand hotel last night.

Yeh I saw him too and his horses were grazing on the front lawn

I really like the lad. He was absolutely solid after the bad start against Lincoln. I doubt he would cost more that 4 million, but he isn't going to leaving his parent club, but might be sent out on loan again.

Tomori is a quality player, and a must sign. If we have to take him on loan, then so be it. But he's a £10million defender with unquestionable re-sale value, there isn't a downside to buying him.

Cracking player, but if we're only allowed 2 loans he would be a waste. Central defence is an area we're well stocked. Would love it if we bought him, but not a loan

Dominic Solanke - a team mate of Tomori's at both Chelsea and England U-20's wouldn't be a bad acquisition either, his contract is up at Chelsea and they would be due a development fee if he went to a English club. As he's currently being eyed up by RB Leipzig and Celtic, they might be open to a cheeky offer rather than potentially lose him for nothing

Never going to happen. Chelsea wouldn't have offered him a 4 year contract last year if they didn't see him as a future first team player for them IMO

 

[samtheseagull]

I've said it before, and I'll......
He was bought on against Newcastle at the Amex due to an injury. Raffa instantly threw everything at him, PL attackers against a kid, but NOTHING got through.

PS is it bought or brought? or thrown?

I was not one of the ones saying he was rubbish BTW

They would, just so they can get more money. Loftus Cheek was one of their most hyped young players in years but it looks as though he may be sold this summer.

If you're going to say "Raffa instantly thrown everything at him" you might as well go all out at say "froan".

Is this now a game of throwns?

 

[origigull]

He fitted in really well and was really professional. It would be great to get him. Loan seems most likely option.

I was told that the PL clubs are only allowed 2 loans in the 25-man squad. If so then we have to be careful who we chose as loan players in case we need 1 in January.

Well, if he's one of our two, that'd be fine by me. Agree it would be even better if we could buy him, though.

As he is under 21, would he still need to be part of the 25?

Whoever told you that is wrong, Hull for example have 6 players in their squad on loan.

Isn't it 2 from Premier League clubs, but you're allowed more from outside the Premier League?

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

That could be the case as Hull have one from Liverpool, 1 from Everton and 4 players from outside the Premier League.

Edit - from the FA Standardised Rules 2016-17 it says the following

The Competition shall not approve more than two (2) Long Term Loan transfers to or from any one club, including Premier League and Football League Clubs, at any one time.

About as clear as mud (not unexpected from a document that also mentions short term loans which no longer exist) it could mean no more than 2 players at one time between 2 clubs, so we could get Tomori and Abraham but not a third on loan from Chelsea.
